Truthfully, if Palamedes thinks this is the way to go, then Gideon trusts him. He's the one who figured everything out, and she's seen firsthand that when he chooses the self-destructive answer, it's because it's the best choice. She can agree with him on that one.

"Don't worry, I won't go after anyone on my own. I'll read the book, and make up my mind." Mind's already made up but sure, she'll look. It's not likely she'll see something that Pal missed but hey, it's probably good to be sure. "Until then, I'll just keep wandering around this place and figure out what exactly I've been dragged into."
